I and You, Far Away but Very Close, Each Other

Still the same. From me, The Painter, your far-far away lover.

Hey, how's your day, The Writer? Is there something fun happened today? Will you tell me about it? If you have a problem, you can talk to me, I know I can't help you that much, but, at least I can listen to you, right?

Remember, as I once said to you, I can still reach and embrace your moments, to never feel alone. Maybe you are now beyond my reach, you are difficult for me to embrace and kiss, but, remember, there is still me who always accompanies you. I know you've had a bad day lately, I know that you feel tired. I understand that. I'm just like you, The Writer.

If you are still tired, you can rest for a while. Stay away from crowds. Seek calm. Sometimes the world is too tiring. Ah, you know, The Writer, I'm just as tired as you. In fact, I'm more tired than you.

I'm tired of chasing everything, especially chasing you. Where are you, The Writer? I always miss the moments of closeness with you. Miss your hug. Miss your kisses on my forehead. Miss your sweet words.

But, that's it, that's it. This is about you. About me who always tries to be a good lover. Hey, The Writer, we're still dating, right? As far as I can remember, the word 'break up' has never passed our lips. Could it be that our love is eternal? In fact, death alone cannot separate you and me.

The Writer, no one is forcing you to run. You can rest for a while too. Calm down. Erase all those bad thoughts. Try listening to your favorite song. Who knows, it might help. Or, watch your favorite film or television drama. Sometimes, would you like to watch with me? But, where do you want to watch it? Meanwhile, I'm confused about how to hug you? You are very far from me. You are far and close at the same time.

Amyway, there's a word that I want you to hear, I'm so proud of you. I don't know if you've heard it from other people or not. If not, then I will be the first to say so. This all comes from my lips, for you, my forever sweetheart. In essence, I am truly proud of your accomplishments today and the day before.

Maybe you think it's nothing. For me, that was an extraordinary thing. Because big things start from small things. Therefore, come on, start being grateful for the small things you have done. No matter how small it is, and remember I don't accept objections. You know I don't like being contradicted. Moreover, women are always right. Even my great-grandmother even confirmed this.
